Covariate Models

.. currentmodule:: chi

Covariate models in chi_ can be used to construct complex population
structures that depend on characteristics of individuals or subpopulations,
i.e. covariates of the inter-individual variability. Simple population models
from
`Population Models <https://chi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/population_models.html>`_
are used to describe the variability within a subpopulation, while covariate
models are used to describe the cross-subpopulation variability.
